The House of Representatives and the Senate should meet more often to discuss charter change proposals during the session break, Camarines Sur 2nd District Rep. LRay Villafuerte said on Monday. | GabrielLaluINQ
Villafuerte also noted that having the called-off hearing on Resolution of Both Houses No. 6 and House Bill No. 7352 during the break will send a message that amending the 1987 Constitution is urgent.
“The House members could freely attend such a Senate hearing, if there will be one, especially now that the House leadership had authorized the heads of the various House committees to hold meetings during our congressional break, if and when needed,” Villafuerte, one of the lawmakers who filed bills seeking charter change, added Villafuerte.
